Arthur (12A)

Comedy

A drunken playboy stands to lose a wealthy inheritance when he falls for a woman his family doesn't like.

The critical consensus

The 21st-century Arthur is diluted enough to begin with, and these watered-down ingredients make for a thin, insipid and oddly flavourless brew. Drink it responsibly. Better yet, don't drink it at all.

It took all of cuddly Dudley's little-boy-lost innocence to make his Arthur palatable, so it might not have been such a wise move to cast the most self-aware and debauched comedian of his generation in the part.
